An old wizen monk 
Lived high in the mountains
Miles from the nearest settlement
He spent his days 
Deep in mediation 
On the bubble of illusion
One day drinking tea 
He reached nirvana,...

All my life
I looked for a being
to accept my spirit
as a tenant...
I paid a high price
for this grant, a
rent for this condition...
But I didn't find a fixed acceptance
nor any settlement or
correspondence... !...

I would wake to a HAPPY HOME
Filled with luxury of SINCERITY
Heirs of our dreamy but STABLE FINANCES
Generous health that takes us on a good DIET
Pots of general well being
Starched in all round settlement, oh my WEDDING...

tuning ears tinnitus 
trying lobes sharpened 
senses end in brown soil
membranous settlement ru-
ptures total silence turbulent wi-
nd wandering eyes ,closed wi-
ndows of soul

The machine buried him,
poor bastard spent 40 years in the coop
before technology chased down the truth
the machine gave him twenty million for his time
the mouthpieces took a hefty slice
the machine will tax the settlement
burying him all over again...

The
Largest
Interest
Payment of all,
Is for time given temporarily
To each and every one of us at birth.
For some too soon
To others
Later,
But
One
Will know 
When final
Settlement due,
When age in its wisdom sways to the new.

Dilbar jani ao cricket khailain
Mein karun balling tum batting
Har ball pay chaka maarna
Har ball pay out hona
Har ball pay tum haarna
Dilbar jani ao cricket khailain
Mein karun balling tum batting
Yara mara kar lo setting.

Plaintiff,my eye glass,

Defendant,glass case,

Separated both,

Settlement sought,

File the case at the courts,

You are the Judge not a Juri today!

(One of the juries at a courts of law missed his eye glass case,
He messaged to his fellow juri to return it as per this message)...

Marriage is an engagement,
Two minds agreement,
The bed playing the middleman,
A bed,the first debt in marriage for settlement,
Ring brings a debt,
The cake baked in debt,
Dress designed in debt,
Meals in merchants books of debt,
A marriage is said in life to set,
But in fact it's settlements of debts!...

Watching the slow journey of his people
leaving their Navajo land
sad Manuelito

He sits tall astride his steed, their leader
saddened by the enforced move
new settlement awaits

Haastin Ch'il Haajiní,* new name
given him by his people
Died of measle virus


•	 Sir Black Reed.   Named after the place amongst the black reeds...

My settlement, then is to Thee
my soul, a victor ~ a victory.
In him, truth spoken seems to free
a way, a hope, a place to be.

In him, a faith, some harmony
a grace, a waiting, a reprieve.
A trace of heart, not bigotry
that tries my mind, condensed esprit!

Oh Father, time's insured believe
is prayer, rhyme's faith ~ accompany!...

Spilled Ink
Spilled Ink
damaged body
damaged goods
in darkness I wait for 
the settlement of dreams
for all the world aroundd to 
stop with ease
Creeps like songbirds
Prances like spiders in fight
infinite doom holds me
hell bound

Rain damped souls
Rain takes hold
puddles with shadows
cast eerie images

These sheets I lay
I pray caresses this alone
hell bound soul...

A staff in hand
Sandals on his feet
A backpack of provisions
He departed that morning
Towards the first settlement
Towards the rising sun
Said he wanted to make it
To the eastern gate pass
Exit our realm 
Into the first settlement
They calmly reminded him
The path was blocked 
By the seraphim
With flaming swords
But he claimed the gate
Was now open
For the elect to gain entry...

Your core need not mend
this love must not pretend
to be here in your arms
it never harms
I'm hanging on to fancy
if by redemption to chance be
to revel in it's magnitude
risen in it's altitude
forever not clutching embarrassment
to not agree in any settlement
that is if that deem discussion
I would tell you to hush, Hon
for there will be no heartache
no stomach turning to Aspartate...

Volunteers rain down on me
Gentle warm kisses softly the breeze
Settlement flashes bright solar streams
I missed the gathering tweeting birds sing

And I acknowledge I am a follower
I confess I am a lone survivor
And as I witness all of this
Waiting sweet angels kiss

I relinquish
I confess
I partake of the Angels kisses
Minm mumm hugs N love
Let  all Children say Amen...

Heart and soul, not half a role
as God encompassing my knoll
I have in Thee confirming hold
as spirit's new convening told!

So settlement is Thy revere
my own grace pleading asks me here
can I keep needing while Thee veer
my whole believing, not austere!

A space for heeding of Thy cheer
that private, leading, not of fear
denotes my will, as God declares
your love in mine, HIs wholeness ~ cares!...

Settlement
If I take off my shoes
And I sell my toes
Does that make my toes, Fritos
If I close my eyes at night
am I legally blind, lost my sight
All I know is yes and no
and that air is light and darkness
the electrician fixed the wall switch
I put my mitten on my feet
I place my feet above my head
Now this is the time even corpse wish they were dead
Settlement

What corporate oligarchs can dream
Against all human betterment
Creating the grotesque extreme
The lack of equal settlement

People rise against machine
Gears will grind them til they’re spent
Crooked legal mischief whore
Peace of Justice will prevent

What man can right his broken vessel?
Foreign seas henceforth he drowns
Pirates poison manic plunder
Man no longer can be found

I feel a closeness to you
or at least I felt I did
I put so much trust and hope
but I see you've turned to another
It pains me to see you doing it as a "settlement"
because it doesn't start from nowhere
Lying to them and lying to yourself
Making you believe it's everything you want
Causing me pain you wouldn't even know
And the pain I can't tell
I just wish you wouldn't push me away
because I need friends too...

My home on native land
I stole that from a T-shirt
Gotta give credit
Where credit is due 

Canada 'eh
Kanata
Iroquois for settlement or village
And here's where I slip in pillage
Pardon my digression
Subjugation segregation
And bad first impression

Gotta give credit where credit is due
I remember being proud of a beret in blue

Riffles, catching debris as it passes. 
Holding on to that which seems small
Only to be dislodged when bigger comes

Tiny and precious can dwell deep down
Only to be washed out by a flood
Disrupting patterns disrupting patterns

Then calm ensues, new patterns emerge
That which was hidden emerges
But with that a new path is forged

A new stream to wash away
Make a new place for settlement
And once again the life path flows...
